Sitka gear

The Sitka that I have I love, that said my favorite hunting pants are by far the Kuiu attack pants. I did get a nice hole when I fell on my arse caring a bear down a mountain, but I would still choose them over any other brand.

I've done plenty of "Banging" on plenty of "bucks" in my Sitka Gear. I only use the rain shell though. Everything else is MH, Patagonia,Kuiu, and OR. I also don't subscribe to a single gear provider. Price, fit, and performance for each element of my clothing system matter. I live in one set of clothes for a whole week. They better be comfy and durable.
Sitka is way too pricy. I'd never pay full retail for any of their pieces.

I know that all my buddies that have Sitka love it. They say its good quality, but It doesn't matter if you have the cheaper Cabelas jacket or the twice as expensive under armour jacket. Rain proof is rain proof. Just because Lee and Tiffany wear under armour does not make it better than scent lok or any other brand. That being said everyone is bias to their gear. I have always bought wal mart or Cabelas brand because it was cheaper and I wasn't exactly rich growin up. Scent lok has always been my favorite scent control though if I had to pick one.

Those 50% off sales seem to be a thing of the past. I've yet to see one with latest patterns.

We do not go to the green woods and crystal waters to rough it, we go to smooth it. We get it rough enough at home; in towns and cities; in shops, offices, stores, banks anywhere that we may be placed

Check out camofire dot com. They run rotating daily sales and are associated with core4element. So, you can get C4E stuff at steep discounts and their stuff is pretty good. I don't have a lot of in the bush experience but comparing to what I see of Sitka and Kryptek at Cabela's, the C4E stuff looks to be fairly comparable. Also, camofire does run other stuff too and they have Sitka on there from time to time if that is what you want.

I do alot of bowhunting so I use wool, bought browning and columbia wool pants and shirts off amazon got tops and bottoms for $90, in town the pants alone were $140, Plus they blend real well, only draw back is when they get wet they take a little longer to dry but I hunted for bou in the rain and was very warm and comforable all day.

agreed.. they discontinued that pattern and it was taken over by another company, so they had to get rid of it all...

its durable gear, i use it as my dedicated mud and woods gear to save wear and tear on the clothes the missus buys me.. she doesnt have to take care of any of it, or deal with it... if its camo... thats dads crap he'll deal with it..

its held up very well, better then most the carharts i have worn to camp... and ripped open.
